OK so I took my cylinder to the shop and they said it was okay so they honed it I put everything back together I did a compression and after for kicks I'm only getting 90 psi I put a Lil oil in the cylinder and now I can get 110psi and still not starting and I have spark and gas where should I start
still not starting

You don't, you are stuck with what you got, unless you get new rings.
I am presuming that you put used rings back in.
Other than a leaking head gasket, the non sealing of the rings within the bore can produce low compression.
The introduction of oil to raise the compression leads me to believe that the gap is too large or the rings are worn, or there is excessive wear in the ring lands!

Material can be taken from the ring ends to make the gap larger.
If you have low compression you may need to inspect the ring lands for wear and check that the ring gap is not excessive!

Just honing and supplying a new piston does not gel to me.
As Awk says did they actually measure check wether the bore was suitable to fit a forged piston.
